Dimension on one line. And adding the measurement.

[Jonifusion360]

First, sorry my bad English.  

So im trying to make the align dimensions to be on one line and adding up. (easier to cut in production if u can just measure from start)  I ques u can use the Baseline measurement, but the  numbers just stack a top of each other.

I think Chain Dimension is what you're after. Link to help.

Hi,

This is the way it is done.

Basic dimensions are never on one line.

Reading your message again I'm not sure if you might want Baseline dimension not chain?

Hi @Jonifusion360 

As @HughesTooling has shown, use the Chain Dimension, the trick is that you need to place a dimension first.

[Jonifusion360]

Thanks this is it! Now i feel dumb 

Edit no the numbers dont add from the start?

[Jonifusion360]

I kinda worked it out, but its a hassle. I just started measurement from stat and just placed them all on line.

Hi @Jonifusion360 

As @HughesTooling mentioned, your other option is a Baseline Dimension:

OK, were you looking to use the Arrange Tool?

[Jonifusion360]

Yes Thanks!

Hi,

Can you show a real-world drawing where baselinedimensions are on one  line.

So the Arranging  did not fix so i had to move them one by one to one line. This is what i mean.

Looks to me like you should be using Ordinate dimensioning.

What Standard does your company use?

Hi,

I already understood that to be the case.
If I were to bring something like that to production, I would be sent home without having achieved anything.
